Definitions
- the invention relates to a spacer assembly for a stator venting duct in an electric power machine.
- the stator magnetic circuit of a power alternator is often constituted by a set of magnetic laminations stacked along the axis of the rotor and clamped together by means of tie rods parallel to this axis.
- venting ducts i.e. gaps provided between the laminations of the stack, in which gaps a cooling gas circulates radially.
- venting duct spacer members in the form of rods which extend radially and which are clamped between two laminations of the stack.
- the rods must be fixed on a metal support sheet so as to allow the stack to be assembled without danger of the rods moving.
- the venting duct spacer members are made of metal and are resistance welded on to a soft steel support sheet 0.6 mm thick. They are interposed in the stator stack, the magnetic laminations used for the magnetic circuit not being suitable for welding. Once the spacer members are welded, the welds are fettled (cleaned) and the assembly is coated with a protective layer of paint.
- the disadvantage of this solution is that the metal support sheet and the metal spacer members (which, in general, are non-magnetic) are the seat of appreciable losses, thereby reducing the efficiency of the machine.
- Preferred embodiments of the present invention produce a stator venting duct spacer assembly for an electric power machine in which simple means are provided to greatly reduce the losses.
- the present invention provides a spacer assembly for a stator venting duct of an electric power machine whose stator magnetic circuit is constituted by an axial stack of magnetic laminations, said stack being held clamped and being cooled by circulation of a fluid in venting ducts each formed by a gap which is maintained by the spacer assembly between two laminations of the stack.
- the spacer assembly includes:
- a metal support sheet which is suitable for incorporating in the axial stack of magnetic laminations to constitute one side of the venting duct therein, said metal support sheet having an inner surface on the venting duct side and an outer surface on the opposite side, said metal support sheet being a metal sheet of the same magnetic quality and same thickness as those of the magnetic circuit and having fixing means which project into the venting duct from the said inner surface;
- the distance pieces are elastically flexible rods made of an insulating material, said fixing means constituting at least three side stops, said side stops being disposed alternately on either side of the rod and out of line therewith so as to keep the rod elastically bent and thus to obtain permanent lateral pressure of the rod on each of the stops.
- the invention can provide the following advantages.
- the side stops are formed on the protected and insulated metal sheet, this dispensing with workshop units for fettling and painting metal support sheets.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of a spacer assembly in accordance with the invention, the plane of the figure being perpendicular to the axis of the alternator.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-section of the spacer assembly on an enlarged scale taken about line II--II, FIG. 1, the cross-section being parallel to the axis of the alternator.
- a spacer member is conventionally constituted by rods 4 of rectangular cross-section and clamped between two laminations 2 and 6 constituting the magnetic circuit of the stator of an alternator.
- the rods are in the shape of curved sectors and are disposed in a substantially radial configuration so as to maintain gaps (venting ducts) 12 between given laminations 6, 8, 10, etc.
- a cooling gas is thus enabled to circulate radially in said gaps.
- These stops are formed by cutting and bending the support sheet 2 to form tongues which are, for example, rectangularly bent and whose bases 18 remain integral with and connected to the sheets and whose tongue ends or heads 20 (sides or apexes on the furthest sides from the bases) project above the sheets to constitute abutments for the sides of rods 4.
